admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:40:11 +0000

This is a first of it’s kind collaborative effort between my wife (a nationally known and certified rug hooking teacher) and me. We know of no one who has previously combined these 2 art forms. The vase is mahogany and the hooking depicts Red Bluff Bay on Baranof Island in Alaska. The vase is hollow and is finished with Danish oil. This is truly one of a kind.
